I'm over 70 and i really think that an 87 year old does not have the physical ability and reflexes to ride a bike on city streets. He should have walked ,taken a cab or limited his biking to a city park.

I’m sorry this person was hit but not every street was meant for bicycling. When are politicians going to realize this?

Uh, hello! What did you expect it's hard enough for motorists to drive around this crazy City now add on thousands of cyclists and you're creating The Perfect Storm there's hardly any room for cars to maneuver in the city now you add on bike Lanes have you lost your mind? It's legal suicide and the mayor's hand is full of blood

Police lying and in favor of the driver as usual, no wait for the investigation like when they shoot someone

How is it possible the police know what happened when witnesses say otherwise. In any investigation witness statements are taken and appropriate actions are taken, when a driver runs down a pedestrian or bicyclist the police only believe the one that caused the injury. There is something seriously wrong.

Another self entitled motorist causing carnage on out streets. Life in prison, take all his/her assets. When is our beloved mayor going to fix this problem?

To Tony from Canarsie, Those who bike to work, to do their errands are just as entitled to do so as drivers. Bike lanes are to accommodate the thousands of New Yorkers, taxpayers just like you, who bike as a necessity every day. Drivers need to not be reckless and to respect others on the road.

bikers running red lights must stop!!!

Ilan from Midwood says: please stop the hate, cameras was already checked.

Share the streets. There's room for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motor vehicles. Be aware, drive cautiously, and don't hit anyone. It's simple.

To Ben, The camera at that intersection showed that the cyclist did have the green light. The police have made an error which they have admitted and a reckless driver can still drive recklessly.

bikers must follow rules and regulations, STOP for red flashers of school buses, etc

Cars, Bicycles and pedestrians have always been a part of this City. Todays problems show us that for some Reason people do not understand that bikes and cars do not work well together. Bikers need to observe the same rules as drivers, or there is no way it can work. They always go thru red lights, they go in the opposite direction of traffic. They speed and have no lights or signals on the bikes. they go on narrow streets with no bike lanes. They wear no protection. There has to be Laws with consequences, period. they can not compete. Cars are bigger, faster, and much more dangerous even if they are obeyin g the laws. It is not always the Cars in the wrong. A lot of these bikers just do not give a Damn about Laws. They pay no attention to their surroundings etc. Let's get things straight and start enforcing laws for Bikers. and all City streets are simply NOT applicable for Bike lanes. Sometimes they need to walk the bikes. Cars and drivers are not usually the one's in the wrong, but they can inflict the most damage. Something Bikers don't seem to care much about.

Government is supposed to protect the vulnerable. Steps need to be taken to protect people like the victim in this case from reckless drivers.

On 11/02, both CBS News and The Neyork Post reported the cyclist blew through a red light. Bike Paths don't prevent accidents and fatalities. Safe pedaling does.

As a driver who goes to Ft. Greene, a couple of times a week, I see cyclist who run red lights regularly. I am surprised that there are not more fatalities. As a driver, who owns a bicycle and likes to ride, there are some common sense issues that cyclist have to realize ! First, when you are riding on a bike lane, slow down ! Car doors open from parked cars. Pedestrians step out from the corners and between parked cars. I have seen people hit by cyclist. Wear reflective jackets or safety vests at night. And please, when it is raining at night do not ride your bikes ! The odds become greater that you can become another statistic.

Another killer-driver. And then after killing someone a lot of folks start blaming the victim, in this case a man who crossed on a GREEN light, followed the rules and was KILLED BY A DRIVER. Enough is enough! The ageism won't cut it either, the man was killed by a driver half his age. The speed limit needs to be lowered to 15 mph and more cycling lanes are needed like yesterday. Whenever I am out walking or biking, I am stunned at how many drivers break the law. When I am out driving, I also am stunned at the stupidity of so many drivers. Running red lights, driving in the bike lanes, acting like they are in Formula 1, cutting people off, driving in a threatening manner, driving fast in crowded pedestrian areas, ... It's just incredible. If you drive, do so slowly and stop defending the cyclist-killers. They are no role models.

In response to "Park Sloper," you need to read up on NYC history. Cars have been in the city for just under a century in any quantity. Bicycles were in the city for 60 years before the automobiles ruined the streets by littering them with "parked" vehicles, causing traffic jams and killing a lot of city folks. Current killing figures are at about 250 a year. in 1892 a dedicated bicycle lane was opened connecting Prospect Park to Coney Island. 10,000 cyclists showed up for the opening! And not a single carcinogen-spewing car was around. By 1920-30 cars were already killing and maiming so many pedestrians that crosswalks were invented to force pedestrians to modify their behavior FOR the entitled driver-queens and driver-princes. No, the automobile is a scourge in this city. Not cyclists.

It's a free for all on the city streets. I need a license and insurance to drive my car. Bill deblasio has made a complete mess of the city. Rules and regulations for drivers and everyone else do whatever you want. From electric bikes, skate boards, one wheel electric gadgets and anything else you could ride on. It's really gotten dangerous. We need everyone to have some kinda license and rules for anyone using public streets. This is a real safety issue.

We cyclists will follow the law when Ken from Greenpoint follows simple grammar rules.
